"In peace there's nothing so becomes a man as modest stillness and humility: but when the blast of war blows in our ears, then imitate the actions of a tiger."

These fitting lines from Shakespeare's Henry V are engraved on the Purbeck stone centrepiece of the Regiment's memorial garden. Located in the centre of a vibrant City, the garden is an oasis of calm and reflection.

Visit now to see the roses - planted in beds created to remember the Battle of Minden - in full bloom.

Who is that marching with the regiment? 🐾

To reward their service during the Second World War, the regiment was given the freedom of the City of Wi******er and marching in the parade was Fritz, a captured German dog who became a beloved mascot.
